[Question #14061] Syphilis and other STI concerns

Hello doctors. Below is a description of my situation:
- 4 weeks ago I had an encounter at an Asian massage parlor that included me receiving an unprotected handjob. During the handjob I was concerned that she briefly used her mouth, but unsure.
- the lady had a fat lip, which I have now started to worry was a chancre. I assume she could reasonably have come in contact with an infected penis in her line of work.
- as of about 4 days ago, I have a round red sore on the head of my penis and some friction chaffing on the shaft of my penis below the red spot. It started as a red blemish appearing like a friction burn maybe. It has now turned into more of a scab almost and appears slightly cratered. My first assumption was that this was just from masturbation friction, which has happened to me in the past but now I am more worried. It does seem to be healing well and has shrunk a decent amount in the past 4 days.
- I went to get a 10 panel test today and am anxiously awaiting results.
Do you feel that these results will be conclusive or would you recommend another test in a couple of weeks?

I will add also that I just took a rapid at home syphilis test and it appears to be negative.
